Okay, my next TWEWY chapter for Words to Describe Oneself! I had this idea played out in my mind for a while, and I really love the interaction between Rhyme and Joshua throughout this whole thing. Especially as he gets more and more frustrated as he continues to lose. :P Some mild Joshyme, but it's mostly a friendship thing. Interpret their relationship as you wish. :) I'm afraid I got Rhyme a little out of character, you'll notice that as you read on.

I'll let you guess what game they're playing. :)

A word to describe Joshua: Imperfect

x-x-x-x-x-x-x

He was a planner.

The composer of Shibuya was very well organized. Not to mention cunning, smart, and most likely perfect. He always thinks two, three, or even ten steps ahead to reach a conclusion that he desires. Yep, everything goes with out a flaw. Everything –

"I win." A quiet voice whispered as a card was placed on top of a pile.

Except that.

He couldn't understand it! It was a mere game for bored people, something he should be flawless at. Strategy! It was merely strategy! Then why, for the fourth time straight, has he lost to a mere game of cards with one of the Bito siblings, Raimu?

The blonde female cocked her head to the side. "you don't have to frown so deeply – it could give you premature wrinkles, you know?"

Yoshiya Kiryu, better known as Joshua, allowed a simple poker face slide onto his face, masking his frustration. His lips twitched into a smile, or a smirk. He laid down his hand in defeat, and only stated smoothly: "I don't get wrinkles."

Rhyme let her lips twitch into the faintest hint of a smile as she reached over and re-arranged the cards. "Play again?"

Joshua paused and considered the facts. Well, considering he had been defeated in at a mere game of cards four times, what else could go wrong? He smiled and let his confidence overtake him. "Sure." He consulted himself with the thought of 'manipulating' the cards to help him win-

"It's just a game Josh; you don't have to cheat to win."

Well, that possibility was eliminated.

He watched with narrowed, lilac eyes as the smaller female began to deal the cards. Already his mind was whizzing, as it usually did, to calculate his strategy for the game once more. He thought of many possibilities, but each time a small voice would say at the back of his head: "What if she see's through that too?"

"Shut up." Joshua snarled. Rhyme raised an eyebrow – for the blonde it was very rare to see Joshua so frustrated about such a minor thing. But it amused her all the same. Joshua watched with a tense look as the female hesitated, before her slender hard gently plucked a card from her pile and place it on the floor space in between them. A two of hearts. Joshua glanced over at his deck, making note of the cards with the same suit and began to plan again.

Minutes flashed by and Rhyme rolled her eyes. "Just pick a card already." Joshua felt faint surprise, this Bito sibling usually had indefinite patience, but playing the same game five times must've been boring. Especially against him, where he could take hours to select his next card. After all, time wasn't an issue to him.

Finally he decided to place down his next card, a confident smile on his lips. For sure this would be the way to go-

Almost as if in reflex, Rhyme threw down another card as soon as Joshua's hand retracted.

The composer's smile was wiped off his face. Again! He was starting to get really frustrated, even more so than before. Rhyme raised her eyes and observed the troubled expression on Joshua's face.

"No need for Cat Street to have an earthquake, you know." Teasing.

"Not what I was going to do." Irritation. Joshua frowned as he began to look through his cards once more. Rhyme smiled as she watched the silver-haired boy go through his whole planning process again.

"You don't have to think so hard about this." Grunt.

"You know, some things are better to do on a whim." Grunt.

"You know, I'm not trying to break your strategy." That was what made Joshua look up.

"Really? Why is it that you've done exactly that for four games just now?" He challenged. This made the blonde giggle.

"No no. I'm just following my instincts. The hunter always gets his food if he acts right away."

"What does that have to do with anything!" Joshua nearly snarled as he placed down his next card. Rhyme grinned and immediately threw down another card in retaliation.

"I think I'm getting food tonight." She said simply, gesturing at the deck. The composer grit his teeth as he disdainfully plucked a card from the stack.

"Joshua, no one is perfect, accept that." She said bracingly as his eyebrows furrowed even further.

"No." Was his only reply as he placed down another card. "Doing things 'on a whim' may be the way people in the RG think. But it's not the same if you're like me. If I didn't 'plan ahead', well lets just say our world would be-"

"Corrupted? Shameful? A painting can't only have one color." Rhyme said as she placed down another carelessly.

"But sometimes a single-colored painting is the most beautiful." Joshua stated with increasing annoyance, drawing another card from the deck. He glanced at it, grimaced, then drew another one.

"Why don't you just try it for once? Playing something on the whim of it?" Rhyme murmured, slightly amused, as she placed down one of her own. The composer raised an eyebrow before letting out a long sigh and throwing down a card.

"Change to hearts." He said carelessly. Rhyme smirked and played down another card. To her surprise, Joshua mirrored her actions and threw down one of his own. It went on like this for a while, until the blonde, for the first time in four games, picked up a card from the deck.

"Changing strategy?" She said with a half smile as she picked up another one. Joshua nodded as Rhyme continued to pick up from the deck. She finally played a single card.

"Maybe your right. I should try to be more spontaneous next time." He said as he played another card on top of hers.

"That's better. The world doesn't have to be perfect, you know. Like Shibuya. All the thoughts makes this place unique." She stated as she continued to draw from the deck.

"Mm." He agreed as he watched her play the next card. "But this won't get me too far as a Composer."

"But as a person, being spontaneous could be a good thing." Rhyme smiled and placed down her next card.

"Maybe it can." Joshua agreed, throwing another card on the pile. "Maybe I don't have to be perfect." He flashed his devilish smile. "I win."

Finally satisfied, the composer transformed into a ball of light and flew to the sky. Rhyme watched as the light grew dimmer and dimmer before winking out all together. She laughed to herself. "He tries way too hard."

The ending I didn't like as much, but I love the middle portions. In case you were wondering still at this point, the game I imagine them playing is Crazy Eight Countdown. So it goes on for a LONG time. But it could be any game you imagine, except the change of suits makes it pretty obvious.

Responding to Reviews;

Legendaerie L-T : Haha, thanks. My fluff fics are usually very minimal, actually that was the first time I went as far as that with my fictions!! But I'm glad you enjoyed. :)

Inspiration of Imagination: Glad you enjoyed it :) Again, fluff isn't one of my standing writing points but I try.

Insane Melody: That's good that you could relate, I hope that made the whole thing seem much more realistic. And yay, decent fluff!

Ok, that's it! So please send in a request; a pairing and a word to associate with them. I've already got a Kariya/Uzuki one in the early stages, along with a Beat/Rhyme (sibling) thing, and perhaps another Neku/Shiki, but Shikicentric for that one.

And that is all! Reviews make me happyyy :)
